Happy to report it has arrived, from Amazon UK.
Disc one appears to be Volume 9.
I think there may be some padding on here, for example, Hexagone 662, with its epic runtime of 5 seconds.

No, these releases get limited prints. 9 was never reprinted either.

Well bugger, I really want this, but going by how it's going, that's a negative...
Edit: seems people on discogs are already selling it for €170+... For real you arses?!

Something from a facebook group about the mono tracks
Benoit, who does the live tech of the radio show Mirage, l'univers des musiques parallèles, identified the tracks in "Radiophonie VOL10"
The Hexagone 3xx are used exclusively for the radio station which is aired in mono.
All track in CD 2 are for the radio station, but the stereo ones are used for some show and spots which rebroadcasted on the TV channel too which is in stereo, but the 3xx are only used on the radio station.
So perhaps that's why they are in mono.
Anyway, some of the tracks in CD4 are at -12db, but apparently they are only for background music only used with voiceovers ... so perhaps that's why they are at this low level.
I don't really buy this explanation.

Still not movement whatsoever on Amazon Germany. This absolutely blows...
Edit: thinking about it, would be nice if FranceInfo gave any information regarding what's going on. Orders get cancelled, barely anyone got their copy and no one knows what's going on.

To add to the confusion, after canceling the orders in the morning FNAC made Radiophonie 10 available to order again.

I received three e-mails from imusic.dk yesterday, the first one being the most interesting
The title has been withdrawn from the roster.
Signature records has stated that they will not be able to deliver any product on V10: Radiophonie (UPC 3415820000371) by Jean-Michel Jarre. The label said they are having rights issues with Jean-Michel Jarre’s main label. Why they waited to tell us this two days before the July 24th street date is anybody’s guess. We apologize for inconvenience caused by the reckless oversight from the label.
The second one was about "item cannot be delivered", the third one about order cancellation.

The tracks were obviously composed and recorded in stereo, so this is not an excuse, esp. when you're going to release them on a proper CD which will be obviously listened to on a stereo sound system.

Yeah, I remember thinking the same when Radiophonie 9 started hitting eBay

Wait... What?! They can't be serious regarding this, right? Also two days before release? For real guys?!
